Episode Narrative An upper-level shortwave trough moved from East Texas across Arkansas during the afternoon of May 2nd. At the surface, a warm front associated with the system developed and lifted north across Mississippi. Severe thunderstorms developed along and south of the warm front through the afternoon and evening, producing several tornadoes and scattered wind damage extending from the southwestern and west-central Mississippi toward north-central and northeastern portions of the state.
Event Narrative An EF-0 tornado touched down in a wooded area south of Willis Lane and tracked northeast across Mississippi Highway 429, outside of Thomastown. A handful of trees were uprooted at this location. Additional pine trees were snapped on the edge of a field east of Highway 429. Maximum estimated winds were 80 mph.
